@burnout426: Since I have no vimeo account, I cannot watch this "unrated" video. However, I can just press F11 on any website, also here or in opera settings, to trigger the crash. So while I recognised it first when trying to fullscreen a video with its webplayer GUI, it is irrelevant, as the issue seems in the fullscreen "backend" of the browser. Toggling hardware acceleration and any ANGLE backend does not solve it. ID if the last crash upload: 3cce6274-f34f-4eb3-b1be-4696d2240521
Interestingly, while automatic uploads were disabled before, and no OPERA_CRASH_EMAIL was set, I see a lot of older crash IDs and uploads from earlier May. Not great in terms of privacy, but a different topic.

Same problem here, since a longer while already:

• Favicons take about a minute to load.
• But it is not like that it takes a minute for every tab, once that particular tab is opened. Instead, once loading a favicon is triggered, some internal system hangs for about a minute: during this minute one can open further tabs which use favicons the one or the other way, and all of them on all open tabs will show up at once, after the ~minute triggered by the very first tab finished, even if the last new tab was opened just a second earlier.
• Once all currently "requested" tabs showed up, any new tab triggers a new minute hang.
• This does not only affect the favicons on the address bar, but also bookmarks/speed dial icons (for the latter only those inside a folder), if those are based on the favicon.
• Hence whenever opening a speed dial folder or accessing the opera://bookmarks/, all icons based on favicons show some replacement graphic until ~1 minute has passed.
• Also icon/graphics selection when adding a new bookmark from the top right dialog is not possible until the minute has passed, showing just a grey graphic without a way to navigate left/right.
• Most annoying for me is that opera://history/ is empty for a minute, since it also fetches favicons.

Same has been reported years ago, with very same symptoms: https://forums.opera.com/topic/64507/the-favicons-don-t-load

So it is some internal favicon fetching issue which affects a wide range of Opera features. I hope this gets more attention. Fetching a new cub of coffee whenever aiming to browse the history after CTRL+H is not exactly a schedule I can keep up much longer.

@burnout426

However, as said, it does not matter how or from where fullscreen is enabled. The crash report was done hitting F11 from the crash reports page.

@burnout426
Not "some" non-video pages trigger it, too, but literally all pages, no matter how fullscreen is enabled, including clicking the fullscreen option on "any" video webplayer GUI and F11.

@burnout426: Yes. just tested a fresh standalone Opera developer, and it crashes, too.

@burnout426: For completeness: I also tried to toggle the 3 fullscreen related flags (typing "fullscreen" into the flag search), but they have no effect on it either.

@burnout426: Thank you very much. Until then, reverting to 111.0.5159.0 works very well, just replacing opera.exe and renaming the autoupdate folder. A native downgrade option would be still nice :).

The issue has been fixed (in my case) with v112.0.5179.0, many thanks!

The crashes when going fullscreen on Windows 11 has been fixed, many thanks!

@burnout426 Ah yes that makes sense. Since it clearly broke with 2nd last Opera developer update, that is the culprit, not Windows update or user password change (which did not happen). I hope such is prevented in Opera stable. Using a developer version as production system could be called own fault :).
